What it will not do
- You must know the password. There is no recovery or cracking here and there never will be, because a tool that opens documents without their password is a tool for reading other people's documents.
- Only use this on documents you are entitled to unlock.
Where this runs
Unlock PDF runs entirely inside this page. Your file is read by the browser, processed in memory and handed back to your downloads folder. It is never sent to a server, because there is no server involved in this tool.

No. Recovering it would mean brute force, which this service will not do. Your options are the person or system that created the document, or a professional data recovery service.
